Terms of Agreement
This agreement outlines the relationship between you (the Affiliate) and
ShowYourPhotos.
1) TERM OF THE AGREEMENT
The term of this Agreement will begin upon our acceptance of your Affiliate
application and will end when terminated by either party. Either the
Affiliate or ShowYourPhotos may terminate this Agreement at any time, with
or without cause, by giving the other party written notice of termination.
Affiliate is only eligible to earn referral fees on sales occurring during
the term.
ShowYourPhotos reserves the right to deny any Affiliate application.
2) MODIFICATION
We may modify any of the terms and conditions contained in this Agreement,
at any time and in our sole discretion, by posting a change notice or a new
agreement on this site. Modifications may include, for example, changes in
the scope of available referral fees, fee schedules, payment procedures and
Program rules.
If any modification is unacceptable to you, your only recourse is to
terminate this agreement. Your continued participation in the program
following our posting of a change notice or new agreement on our site will
constitute binding acceptance of the change.
3) PROMOTION OF OUR AFFILIATE AGREEMENT
As an Affiliate Site, we will make available to you a variety of graphic and
textual links (each of these links sometimes being referred to herein as
"Links" or, individually, as a "Link"), which, subject to the terms and
conditions hereof, you may display as often and in as many areas on your
site as you desire. The Links will serve to identify your site as a member
of our Affiliate Program and will establish a link from your site to ours.
a. Agreements Regarding Links: In utilizing the Links, you agree that you
will cooperate fully with us in order to establish and maintain such Links.
You also agree that you will display in your site only those graphic or
textual images (indicating a Link) that are provided by us, and you will
substitute such images with any new images provided by us from time to time
throughout the term of this Agreement. All Affiliate Sites shall display
such graphic and/or textual images prominently in relevant sections of their
site. All Links may be modified and/or expanded from time to time throughout
the term of this Agreement pursuant to the mutual agreement of the parties
hereto. Each Link connecting users of your site to our site will in no way
alter the look, feel, or functionality of our site.
b. We will refuse all applications or signups from affiliates which we
believe participate in spyware, adware or parasiteware techniques for
driving traffic. We reserve the right to research and investigate affiliates
and their activities and, at our own discretion, determine whether or not
these practices are in place. Affiliates found in violation of this policy
will be immediately terminated from the program and will forfeit all
commissions.
4) OUR RESPONSIBILITIES
We will be responsible for providing all information necessary to allow you
to make appropriate Links from your site to our site. We emply the services
of SWREG for processing every order placed by a customer following a special
Link from your site to our site, and for providing information to Affiliate
Sites regarding sales statistics. SWREG will be responsible for order entry,
payment processing, shipping, cancellations, returns, and related customer
service.
5) POLICIES AND PRICING
Customers who buy products at our site through the Affiliate Program will be
deemed to be customers of ShowYourPhotos. Accordingly, all of our rules,
policies, and operating procedures concerning customer orders, customer
service, and ShowYourPhotos product sales will apply to those customers. We
may change our policies and operating procedures at any time. For example,
we will determine the prices to be charged for ShowYourPhotos products sold
under the Affiliate Program in accordance with our own pricing policies.
6) CREDITING SALES
Affiliate Commissions will not be credited until 30 days after the purchase
has been made. This will allow for ShowYourPhotos' 30-day money back
guarantee time. If a customer receives a refund for a product after the
Affiliate commission was credited and/or paid, ShowYourPhotos reserves the
right to subtract the commission amount from Affiliates' commission that
month or in future months.
7) COMMISSIONABLE ITEMS
ShowYourPhotos agrees to pay commissions for the PhotoResizer Pro software .
Commissions will be paid on the "Sale Price" which is the actual price the
customer pays for the items.
ShowYourPhotos can extent the range of software to be sold under the
Affiliate Agreement at any time to include more products.
8) COMMISSION ELIGIBILITY
The minimum commission check sent out is $50. Any amount less than $50 will
be stored in your account until you refer another sale to bring your
commission total above $50.
9) COMMISSION RATES
Affiliates can earn $2.00 commissions in the first 25 units sold and an
extra $0.50 per unit when sales exceed 25 units per month.
This means that if an Affiliate refers a customer to ShowYourPhotos, the
Affiliate will earn $2.00 of the sale price paid by that customer - for the
first 25 units sold in a month. When the sales exceed 25 units per month the
Affiliate earns an extra $0.50 per unit of all sales above 25 units.
